What Novel (book) can you recommend that is intriguing to read can be anything from romance to horror but is easy enough to follow for a fourteen year old. After reading the Lovely Bones book by Alice Sebold I wish to read more novels like this. Any ideas of ones you can recommend?
Thanks.

It's funny because before reading your description under "recommend a novel", I was going to suggest The Lovely Bones. It's hard to compare that book with anything else because it was so good. However, the best I've found next to The Lovely Bones are the books by Jodi Picoult, in particular --> My Sister's Keeper.

I, Claudius by Robert Graves
Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey
Native Son by Richard Wright
These are all challenging novels, but challenging in the best sense. Not too hard to read, but will enhance your ability to move on to more dense literature, by the likes of James Joyce, Henry James, Thomas Pychon, and Virginia Woolf. I'm excited to hear that someone your age has cultivated a love of reading. Embrace it and never be afraid of what you can learn and where you can go while reading a novel. Good luck

Alice Sebold works in a genre called 'life-writing'. Other great authors in this vein are Blake Morrison, Jenny Diski, Lorna Sage, Tobias Hill, Philip Roth.
My personal favourite is 'And When Did You Last See Your Father?' by Blake Morrison

My favorites are anything Nicholas Sparks. Specifically, my absolute favorite is A Bend in The Road. It's a classic love story, and the ending is a tear jerker, just like the rest of Sparks' books.

Any Darren Shan novel. These novels are about a vampire prince and his journey to get there. But to appreciate this author you must start with his very first book called Circus de Frique.
